Good morning,
I would know if the website below is considered needing a license: http://www.regione.piemonte.it/parchi/ppweb/video/index.htm. That website gives info about video, movie, documentary which are made by other people, is not a commercial website.
thank you for your support
Paolo Pieretto.

Do non-profit websites fall under the category of commercial website?

Chris,

Non-profit websites do not fall under the category of commercial website.

Instead, if that is the case, you will be using the player under the Creative Commons license.

I need to use JW Player for an employee training website. Does that fall under the category of commercial website?

I would like to use this player on a website i made for a small local band. The website is not owned by a corporaton and doesn't contain any advertisements. The band is not signed and never will be signed to a record label, they are a small marching flute band that play at special events only and make/charge no money. The website is not yet online and exists purely to provide followers of the band with videos and images of the parades they attended, provide information on the band and to advertise future parades they will be attending.

As above, the site is not yet online but i do have a link for another, similar band you can use to evaluate my situation.

Norin,

If you are a corporation, which it sounds like taking into consideration that you will be using the player to train employees, then you must purchase a license.

William,

You do not need to purchase a license. The usage of the player on your website would fall into the following category: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

Hello,

I'm building a website. The website is for one restaurant. I want to use the image rotator to rotate some images of the restaurant as a part of the design of the website. Do I have to purchase a license?

Best Regards

Hi Ventsi,

Since the website is promoting the restaurant, this would be considered a commercial endeavor, which you would need a license for.

Please email me directly at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com to follow up if you have any other questions, thank you.

Hi Saulo,

This is Ethan from LongTail here to help you.

You do not need a license to use the non-commercial player, however, you need one if you wish to use the commercial player (removing the watermark/changing the right click)

Please email me directly at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com to follow up if you have any other questions, thank you.

I created a script that uploads and plays videos. I decided I like your player the best and want to suggest to those who purchase my script to use your player in the script. I think yours plays best. Do I need some sort of permission or license from you to suggest using your player & player_viral in my script. And can I add a link in the instructions to your site to get this player?

Best Regards
Rich

hy,

I would like to inform if I would neeld a commercial license or not. We are creating a website to instruct teachers of children with a mental dissability to use several free and commercial programs in making communicational aides (such as a shedule, a communication board, ...).

The goal is to not promote any of the programs, but offer diverse ways of obtaining the same aide using a program you are familiar with. We will be distributing this freely on DVD

kind regards,

Bart

We are running testimonials for a non-profit website we maintain, trying to get more agencies like ourself to contribute to the event calendar and update their profiles.

Maine Business Works is a collaborative effort to maintain information about the assistance that small business can get from the state of Maine.
